i am addicted big time lol But i kind of realized i can't handle more then i already have. I have 4 at home and 3 at work. A few co worker now have them too. A few neighbors have them from me and love them.
One advice for people who have more than one betta. Always try use different changing equipment just in case one will get sick. Or at least if you see one of the betta has any symptoms of the sickness, separate him and don't share anything between him and your other fish. Also when you buy new betta never put him in the main tank , always quarantine it. I know a few people who brought new betta put it in the divided tank and contaminate it.

I always quarantine my bettas for at least a week before I put them in a divided tank. Now, I'm up to 6 (remember when I started this thread that I had four). I have a new Black Orchid HM who is in a quarantine tank right now and made a bubble nest on the first day. He is doing really well so far, but I don't know if he will have a divided tank. I have decided that 8 is my limit...It used to be 7, but 8 is the new number *twitch twitch* I just wanted to update everyone! :)

I don't know what you guys are refering to? I only have a 75 tropical, a 30 goldfish, a 200 garden pond, a split 10 for bettas, a 5 and a 2.5 on my office desk, and a 20 waiting to be set up.
Addicted? What's that?

Yeah, right now my limit is 6 and I have only 4 at the moment...need to get two more males! I have a 10 gallon community with a single male (HMDT), a 2-way divided 5.5 gallon with 2 babies from Petco (female VT's I think), and a 3-way divided 10 gallon NPT that I just set up last week. It has just one betta in it so far that I got yesterday (a male delta tail...cup said halfmoon but I'm skeptical). Plan on getting a CT from Chard56 and getting an HMPK from somewhere else so I can have a nice menagerie of colors and tail types! I'm already planning on other tanks though...I really want another 10 gallon for a giant male betta but I don't have the money to splurge yet (or the confidence to tell my boyfriend that I'll be adding to my collection of animals).

Hahahaha, I wish I had all those tanks! I'd have a freakin' field day.

I think I forgot to mention that I have a 20 gallon tank with Glo Fish Danios, 2 dogs, and a 150 gallon Oscar tank--in addition to 6 tanks from 2.5-5 gallons. Haha. I want a Giant too, but I heard on here that they often get health issues from the petstores. That would definitely be one that I would go with a breeder on if I were you. Chard56 has some gorgeous CTs!
I have a gorgeous red HMPK from Petco, but he is really aggressive. I've got two Black Orchid Halfmoons (one is a Rosetail), one Butterfly blue and white Twin Tail half moon, one Mascot (teal body, red tail) Delta tail half moon, and a female teal CT. I actually want a veiltale, but I am majorly spoiled with the HM and VT's in the Petstores seem to always have fin rot :(
